Like âThe Brothersâ, this squib was written at the time of the controversy that erupted with Buchanan's hostile review of DGR's 1870 Poems. DGR's most substantial response was his essay âThe Stealthy School of Criticismâ, which originally had incorporated âThe Brothersâ into its text.
The poem is of course a parody of of the opening lines of Hamlet's famous speech (III.1.55ff.).
DGR later expanded these three couplets into a much more substantial piece that he titled âThe Next New Hamlet's Soliloquyâ.
